Surplus Property has been established as the University's clearing department for equipment that is no longer usable by its current department. In order to transfer equipment to Surplus Property university departments should use the online Surplus Property Pickup Request.

Computer Equipment – Departments are no longer required to remove all data from surplus computers. Surplus Property will work with Information Technology to strip them of all data and evaluate their potential use on campus. Any usable computers will be repurposed and transferred to another department, and all unusable computers will be sent off campus for recycling. There will be no charge for this service.

Rush Surplus Pickups – Surplus Property collects equipment for all campus departments at no charge; however, there are instances when a department needs equipment picked up before Surplus Property can get there. In this case the department should complete the Equipment Transfer to Surplus Property Request form and mark the box in the equipment pickup section 2 next to PSO – Grounds. The department must also complete a Request for Physical Plant Services (RPPS) form to schedule a pickup time. PSO will assess a charge to the department for their labor.

All Other Surplus – As a cost savings measure Surplus Property is grouping its pickups by location instead of department. To make the pickup process easier, departments should now use the online Surplus Property Pickup Request. This web form requires basic information from the department and can be submitted online. Once Surplus Property receives a request they will confirm with the sending department and group the request with others in the same building. Surplus Property will then schedule a time for the pickup. Surplus Property will also create an Equipment Transfer to Surplus Property Request form for the department and obtain the necessary signatures to transfer the items received. There will be no charge for this service.

Repurposed Equipment

In some instances Surplus Property receives items that are no longer needed by one department but may be valuable to another. Surplus Property will be open between the hours of 7:00AM and 11:00AM every Thursday morning. During this time all university departments may visit the warehouse to pick out useful items. There will be no charge assessed by Surplus Property for this equipment; however, PSO-Grounds labor must be used to move items back to campus.
